EP40: How Trusting Your Inner Compass Leads to Transformation

Published: July 1, 2021, 7 a.m.

Striders, let’s remind ourselves of how far we traveled together on our weekly wise walks. Our weekly wise walks offer self-reflection to consider how we want to walk in our truth. We align ourselves with our True Stride to share the value we have with the world.

Now that we’re here, Episode 40 is feeling monumental to me. The number 40 holds significance in different facets of life. A full-term pregnancy is 40 weeks. In the Bible, the number 40 appears 146 times. Something about this number stands out, and I noticed many of the references depict transformation over a period of time, and sometimes shows up as testing, trial, and triumph.

In this episode, I reflect on my own transformation, and why I started this podcast. I went from a successful corporate career to authentically sharing my value in a way that made my heart happy. In between reminiscing and being grateful, I also talk about what I’m most excited for going forward. 

When I think about my life, my intuition around teaching and empowering those around me seems obvious. Inspired by my own transformation, I encourage you to honor your heart to rhythmically move forward in all that you do. We can all work on trusting our inner compass more. What transformation is calling you?

I’m grateful to connect with you and all of our Striders collective. We can support each other and transform lives together. Each time I think of the relationships formed over these episodes through feedback and our interactions, I am reminded that the True Stride podcast is greater than any singular person.

I absolutely love the conversations we have every single week, and I love empowering Striders like you. I did the calculation, and early April marks 40 weeks from now. What do you see for yourself until then? I’m excited for the world to benefit from you sharing your Heart Value.
